# Before a person goes to bed it's good to consider all the things he did that day and if he finds that he did a sin he should accept upon himself not to do it again. Also it's good to forgive anyone who might have sinned against oneself. <Ref> Mishna Brurah 239:9 </ref> If a person can't bring himself to forgive someone who wronged him he should skip the הרי אני מוחל וסולח that says he forgives everyone until the day he is able to forgive them.<ref>Or Letzion 2:15:13</ref>

Either way one shouldn't say he forgives everyone besides one person.<ref>
[https://www.torahanytime.com/#/lectures?a=61970 Rav Yitzchak Yosef (Motzei Shabbat Bahalotcha 5778 approx min 10-30)] said that one shouldn't say that one forgives everyone besides one person because that is like you are calling him to a din in shamayim which is a serious and dangerous transgression. Rather if the person never asked him forgiveness he can say the regular text and your intent is that you're not forgiving him based on the Maharsha Yoma 23a.</ref>
